Gabardine collar up, trilby at rakish angle, intrepid sleuth Dick Barton faces arch enemies Baron Scarheart and Marta Heartburn in a series of exotic, action-packed adventures, aiming to rid the world of evil in the name of decency and patriotism.
Based on the 1940’s BBC radio serial this critically acclaimed and hugely successful play is ‘Deliriously funny’ poking fun at English hearts-of-oak heroics with all the attendant class distinctions and tender regard for the little woman.
It walks a very fine line between homage and camp spoof. The result is something that captures all the patriotic fervour of Hunhating post-war Britain even as it sends it up rotten.
